Can someone point me toward some quality hi-top sneakers that are simple in design and made well enough to last awhile? Maybe something that looks better as they wear in?Originally Posted by Trapp
I've been a boot guy for several years but would like one great pair of sneakers in rotation.
Common projects?

Now that I have a navy blazer, what sports coat should I aim to get next?Originally Posted by enarchay
Depends on your wardrobe. I think corduroy looks great, but the fabric won't last as long as wool. Tweed is also fantastic. Some kind of rougher, textured fabric.

Rougher, textured fabric... well I did recently thrift a Lands End wool/lambswool sports coat for $4. It's a tan color. Would that work for a second blazer? Not sure with which outfits it'd work.

Need some new boots as my HTC do not fit and I am not feeling the style for my wardrobe. Wanted to get the Clarks distressed black DB but no where to be found, rec. a good black boot that is quality and priced right?

I can't see it or feel it over the internet, dog. Use your best judgment.

A medium grey or herringbone tweed from TAT: http://www.thickasthievesla.com/fabrics.html
Either will work over denim, chinos, or slacks. Versatility is the name of the game.
